photography itself. The program should also interest professional photographers,
teachers, interested lay people, and graduates who are returning to school.
This certificate is designed for all who have an intense interest in the
myriad aesthetic and practical aspects of the medium.

Pre-Professional
Graduation: Architecture
The Department of Art sponsors the 3+4 Program for the School of Architecture
at Washington University. A student who transfers to the School of Architecture,
Washington University, at the end of the junior year may graduate from
UM-St. Louis after the satisfactory completion of the first year of professional
school upon meeting one or more of the following conditions:
1) The student has completed all general education requirements and all
requirements for a major and lacks only the total hours (electives) necessary
for a degree.
2) A student who has not completed required courses for a degree must
remedy the deficiency with courses taken at the University of Missouri-St.
Louis within three years of entering the professional school. At the time
of graduation the student must remain in good standing in the professional
school or have successfully graduated from the professional school.
3) A student who has not completed all the courses required for a major
may, if the major department at UM-St. Louis agrees, substitute up to
six hours of appropriate course work from the professional school.
The requirement that 24 of the last 30 hours of course work for a degree
be taken at UM-St. Louis shall be waived where necessary for students
graduating under this procedure.

Career Outlook
Study in art history broadens and enriches a general education, offering
insight into the visual, architectural, and cultural artifacts left by
earlier, as well as modern, civilizations. Art history graduates have
found career opportunities in teaching, museums, galleries, libraries,
historical societies, sales and auction houses, and historic preservation,
and as travel guides, art administrators, and editors and in art restoration.
Students with degrees in studio art find careers in teaching, advertising,
public relations, graphic design, illustration, film and video production,
art administration, art restoration, product and industrial design, framing,
and commercial photography.
